I've only just started to recover from a diabetic meltdown last week in which I ended up in hospital connected to Insulin to bring my sugar levels down to safe levels. S0 not much knitting has been going on and a lot of sleeping in its place. Result? I feel depressed again !!! Isn't it wonderful how knitting can make you feel much better? I managed to stay with it for several rows of a hat and a small knitted heart tonight and already I feel much calmer.
I was supposed to be spending most of the weekend in Woking at a City & Guilds Handknitting Tutorial, so that has been cancelled, but I am hoping to be able to go to Bluewater next week for the Hobbycrafts show. Excellent reason to get better quickly although that is a coach trip so all the hard work is done for me.
Now I'm getting used to a new regime of tablets and injections and small meals and NO chocolate - oh the misery - mind you I have lost 4lb in weight since Sunday last, so there is some good cheer. Still battling to get my blood sugars down below 10, I don't think that will happen until I've lost a wee bit more weight. Mind you as I've dropped my intake by about two thirds I'll either lose weight or die of starvation.
Sorry for feeling sorry for myself - this is a real Dear Diary moment, and sometimes it is easier to make sense of events if you talk about them, or blog about them .....
P.S. I've accidentally ordered the odd knitting book or three - medicinal purposes only you understand
